The
Parties have filed a motion for an Order Preliminarily
Approving Class Action Settlement (“Motion”).
Having reviewed the Motion and supporting materials, the
Court determines and orders as follows:

A.
Counsel have advised the Court that the Parties have agreed,
subject to final approval by this Court following notice to
the Class and a hearing, to settle this Action on the terms
and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement and
Release of Claims (the “Agreement”).

B. The
Court has reviewed the Agreement, as well as the files,
records, and proceedings to date in this matter. The terms of
the Agreement are hereby incorporated as though fully set
forth in this Order. Capitalized terms shall have the
meanings attributed to them in the Agreement.

C.
Based upon preliminary examination, it appears to the Court
that the Agreement is sufficiently fair, reasonable, and
adequate to warrant notice to the Class and that the Court
should hold a hearing after notice to the Class to determine
whether to enter a Settlement Order and Final Judgment in
this action, based upon that Agreement.

Based
upon the foregoing, the Court finds and concludes as follows:

Settlement Administrator as set forth in the Agreement and
this Order.
